Juicy Detailing vs Black Zafira

This customer originally came in looking for a tuning module for his car and asked me to take a look over his Zafira as he'd recently purchased it and thought it could do with some work, so here is how it arrived....

From a distance not to bad

But up close

And the wheels....

Getting started...wheels cleaned with Chemical Guys Redberry

Car first rinsed off to get rid of initial debris (water just sticking to the car)

The sides of the car were covered in tar...the marks in the pic below are tar spots... I have no idea how long it's been on there but it must of been for sometime. I initially started using the Juicy Medium clay bar but it wasn't really removing anything, so moved up to a more aggressive purple bar. I also enlisted the help of Daryl to help clay (in the end it took both of us 5 hrs to remove it all).

You'll also notice that the car has been de-badged at the customer's request.

Tuesday 5pm Day 1 - started machining using DAS-6. Started on the bonnet with Green Hex Logic pad and Chemical Guys 778, which removed virtually nothing so moved up to Chemical Guys 721 with the green. Again removed a little but still not good enough so changed to an orange (medium) Hex Logic pad with 721.

Couple of 50/50's (still trying to get the lighting right for these pics)

Last few things before the customer arrived back - glass and metal/crome cleaned and polished, plus number plates cleaned up with Dodo Juice Lime Prime as they were also quite dirty that has not been removed during washing and claying.

The end results of what was a really long job and I have to say I'm shattered but all that effort gets forgotten when I look at the finished article...

Reflection shot from the boot...

The roof, just a shame you'd need to be 7 foot to see it these are a selection of my favourite

the front....

the side and a few others...

Now you see how I do it all...I have a siamese twin

And a few outside shots....

To sum up these are the products used (sorry not time for an arty one this time):
